Entertainment, Weekly: Youtube and the Small Screen

So, sorry that I haven't posted in a few days...but finals have been kicking my ass in terms of studying and what not. But, thankfully, they will be done within 40 hours or...so thats good.

Anyway, today I'll talk about last week's ER, monday's 24, monday's How I Met Your Mother, and youtube's Sexy Phil...

Ok. A quick rundown for everybody. Last thursday, ER was crazyyyyyyyyy. Cause Mr. George Clooney came back as Dr. Doug Ross (always thought that was a stupid name). Also, Julianna Margulies came back as Clooney's lover-girl Carol Hathaway. They are both working in Seattle.

Anyway, I thought the episode was very well done. I mean, there are only now three episodes left, so there is only so much that can be done with a new story arc...but it was great to see Ross and Hathaway happy. I do hope that they come back for another episode. Because while I admire that the show didn't get all mushy in the bringing them back, they do at least need to be back for more than an episode, cause otherwise whats the point? A little mush wouldn't kill ER. It has been soapy enough the past few years, with characters no-one gives a damn about...so lets have some drama with the old vets. 

And Carter will live! Hopefully, thankfully. That is good, because it would have been a terrible move killing him. But I want him to find someone. Like, seriously. It doesn't have to be Kem, (Thandie Newton) but Carter does deserve love. And I'd like to see Luka and Abbey come back one more time, and especially to see them with either Carter, OR Doug and Carol.

Ok. 24. Oh, snap! Again, this season has been solid...as I've talked about. Jack goes off rogue so much that a lot of times recently it has been very susceptible for this plot to become cheesy. But, with how last week they had Quinn frame Jack, and now Jack HAVE to be out on the run, its been a lot cleaner. Renee is just getting cuter and cuter, I'll give her that. But Olivia is annoying the shit out of me. I just want to slap her stupid face. And, please, can we have CHLOE back already. Jesus. She is supposed to be the main woman for gods sake, and Tony...where is he? Lets have some goddamn reunions already, with the good old crew.

Ok, How I Met Your Mother is enjoyable for two reasons. First, Ted is awesome. Second, Barney is incredibly hilarious and absurdly awesome. 
I have actually wanted to dedicate an entire post about the politics of HIMYM, so I want delve too deeply into that right now...but seriously, the producers of this show should be slapped for how they have developed certain characters (more on that at another time). Anyway, can we please have Ted dating someone again. C'mon, this is supposed to be what the show is about. I don't want to see Barney pining for Robin. Barney needs to be out there seducing women, its what his character is. I want more "Suit Up"s, and "Legen---wait for it---daryyyyy"ssss. Anyway.

And last, youtube's sexyphil is just bleeping hilarious. The man is legit funny. Tomorrow I'll post a couple of my favorite links...but you should all really check him out.

Carter better end up with Kem - they're perfect together.

I can do without Abby and Luka since we just saw them a few weeks ago.

it was a while ago. idk...i think itd be interesting to see luka and abby with the characters they replaced. also because luka had a thing for carol.

do i know you? or is this just an ER fan reading a blog about ER?

Just an ER fan reading a blog. :)

I personally don't consider Luka and Abby's exit of less 10 weeks ago to be "awhile" in comparision to other characters that we haven't seen for 4 years or more.

So I don't feel that a good use of the show's limited time should be spent on people that we just saw in comparision other cast members.

Just my opinion.

Hey, I think that you may see LUka and Abby tomorrow.
